FIVE POSSIBLE CANDIDATES.
Missouri Republican.

Ben Butler has not yet joined the
Anti-POverty Society. This is liable to
mean that there will be five presiden-
tial candidates i'm the field next year.

Povertyite, Butler and a ProhibitiOnist
in the field, the most fastidious voter

ADMINISTRATION REFORM.

New York Times (Mugwump)
1t is safe to say that throughout the
departments in Washington and in
most of the great Federal offices in
other parts of the country new vigor
and efficiency have been introduced,
old abuses have been rooted out and
the better methods have been adopted,
and that there has been far less iDfec-
ton of the service with partisan pur-
poses and the spoIls idea than had been
the case for years before the change.
This does not argue the superiority of
the Democratic party, but it shows that
a change was needed, and that the de-
mands Of public sentiment have ad-
vanced wonderfully in the last few
years. And whether the relation of
parties may be to the Improvement,
the administration of Mr.. Cleveland
and his official advisers is entitled to
the credit for a good deal of substantial
administrative reform.

Atlanta Constitution.
The New York Sun asks if there is
any reason why the Democrats of In
diana and Georgia should not support
Mr.. Cleveland on a straight-Out Demo-
cratic platform There is no reason in
the world; nor is there any reason
why the Democrats of every State
should not support Mr.. Cleveland.

ISSUES DEAD BEYOND RESURRECTION.
Pittsburg Dispatch.

1t is considered remarkable by the
Chicago Herald that the New York
Tribune should eXpend its editorial
wonder ON a Buffalo physician who
brought patient back to life "after he
had been dead some hours" while the
Tribune itself is regularly engaged in
trying to revive political issues that
have been dead some years. But the
Herald fails TO observe the difference
between the success Of the physicians
effort and that Of the Tribune. The
doctor brought the man back to life.

Covington Commonwealth.

And yet the leaders of the Demo-
cratic party go on blindly in the same
old way, putting up the same old men,
pulling the same old strings, and driv-
ing the Iaboring men from the party.

NO REGRET.

Harper's Weekly is right, we believe,
when it says that no friend of reform
regrets voting for Mr.. Cleveland. We
do not know one. There are no re-
grets on that account. We should be
glad to see the cause of civil service re-
form advanced more rapidly, but we
did not expect it. All that We expect
ed Of this Administration was an hon
est execution of the specific civil ser
service law. We have had that, and a
little more. Now let us brace up to ask
for the extentiOn of that law to other
parts of the public service. Let us hold
what we have got-as we have held it
through a change of politics in the
National Northumberland steadily
reach for more.

EXPORTS OF FOOD STAPLES.


The exports of American breadstuffs,
which have shown a tendency to de-
cline of late years, have been picked up
very rapidly since the beginning Of
1887. The figures for the last seven
months are 100, OOO. 900, against 81, 900, =
600 for the corresponding period of last
year, and the statisticiqn of the De-
partment OF Agriculture finds that the
wheat imports to the United Kingdom
from the United States is resuming its
old place. That is to say, we are furnish
ing seventy three per cent of all the
wheat and -four imported for British
and Irish use, instead Of barely sixty
one per cent, as was The case last year.
Russia has fallen off IN the competition
for the British market, aud so has
India, albeit the interests Of Great
Britain all tend 10 the encouragement
of the Indian grower.

FRANK HURD AND OTHERS.

Of the declarations in favor of tariff re-
vision in the Democratic State plat
form, and the Philadelphia Times is
patting itself on the shoulder with the
notion that Carlisle, Morrison and
WattersoH will join Hurd in the cam
paign and swell FOraker's majority by
thousands. At all events, they can
not expect to accomplish more than
was accomplished by Mr.. Randall in
Pennsylvania, where, with a platform
that suited him, as he asserts, he car
ried the State by majority of SO, 1000

SECRETARY LAMAR.
Washington Star.

Secretary Lamar is preparing to step
out of the Cabinet, if he is to step out
at all, amid applause from men of all
parties for the course he has taken in
the case of the Atlantic and Pacific
railway indemnify lands. The decis-
ion rendered yesterday, let us hope,
will be the precursor ola long line Of
similar announcements that the Gov
eminent has not set apart lands for
railway companies as free gift, but as
the consideration of contract entered
into between the corporations and the
people in each instance; and that the
failure of corporation to carry out its
share of such contract absOlves the peO-
pie from confirming it in the possession
of its lands. This is a very simple
principle when applied TO the law that
is daily administered between man and
man, and its logic is irrefutable.

OUR NEIGHBORS AND OUR RASCALs.
Chicago Journal.
The Canadians are fond of the rascal
ly money stolen by our bOOdlers, but
they detest the rascals. They hate and
despise the fugitives, but they hate
with an intemser hatred the country
from which the fugitives ran away.
When they can they will protect the
outlaws from American officers of JUS
tice, but they do 50, not for love of the
outlaws, but from detestatiOn of their
pursuers. It would seem that, under
these circumstances, for a bOOdler and
thief an American prison would be
more pleasant resort than a Canadian
city ofrefuge.

CORNELL.
New York Star.

The friends of Cornell University
will greatly regret the decision of the
General Term in the suit to set aside
the will of Mrs. Jennie M. McGraw
Fiske, by which 81 100000 was left to
that institution. 1t will be remember
ed that Professor Fiske and the rela-
tives of the decedent based their action
on the fact thst the university by its
charter was only permitted to hold
property to the value of $780, 900, and
that its endowment exceeded that sum
without this bequest. This is the view
held by the General Term, and it is be-
lieved that it will be upheld by the
Court of Appeals. This is peculiarly
unfortunate for the university.

OrganIzlng !. New Party.

Wheeling Register.
The industrial invention now
in session at Cincinnati, will try
to organize a national labor party
that will also absorb the Greenback
party. Henry George has been
present working for Incorporating
his land theories into the platform.
The control of railroads and tel
egraphs by the Government will
also be plank.
On the plank that railways and
telegraphs should be controlled by
the Government large following
might, in the course of few years,
be attracted from many classes of
people, should railroad abuses con-
tinue in spite of the recent legisla-
ton in Congress. But we expect
abuses to diminish under a wise
ministration of the law. Yet a
party protesting these principles
may do good indirectly, by giving
warning to companies that do
not respect the rights of the people,
as to what they may expect if re-
forms are not brought about. Self
preservation will suggest to them
that justice is after all the best
policy.
Mr. Georges land theory as one
of the planks would sink the whole
platform, if adopted. 1t might
prove popular among the landless
aud propertyless class of some of
our large cities. But the millions
who own land and homes of their
own would spurn with contempt
any innovation that would throw
the burden of taxation upon them
and free the mansion of the million
aire and the store houses and plants
of the manufacturer from all bur
den. 1t would be reform in favor
of the rich rather than the poor.
